Restore governance lock periods to 7 days in Polkadot (#86)
This is a revert of paritytech/polkadot@d73503c which has not been released. Deploying without this change would lead to referendum participants and delegates having their tokens locked for 4 times longer than expected. Participants in any referendums ending after the runtime upgrade is applied would be affected. Even more of an issue is delegates, where all current delegates would be affected by 4 times longer lock up issues. The affected user-base is enormous, and there is little to no possibility of reaching all these users to get them to adapt in time. Although a 7 Day lock multiplier wasn't the originally intended target for Polkadot, breaking user expectations with this change is an even larger issue. --------- Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <[email protected]>
